just love me
make all these tears go away
ease my troubles
with your tender kiss
make love to me slowly
until all the world disappears
and we’re all that’s left
encompass me in your arms
so that I may drown in your waters
with a peace I only feel with you
I know you are out there
but when we’ll meet
is a mystery to me
for how long do I despair
how long must I live
incomplete
torn apart
longing
until you arrive in my life
to sleep in my arms
to wake in yours
knowing your smell
before you say a word
your step before
you walk into a room
how long?
